H2B, histone, Histone 2B, Histone2B, histone H3
Nucleosome core histone component, chromatin assembly, target of ubiquitination by the dosage compensation and SWI/SNF complexes, regulates of neuronal connectivity in the visual system, regulates Notch target genes and repression of key differentiation genes
AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Phosphorylated by the catalytic component of the Dbf4-dependent kinase (DDK) complex Cdc7.
Monoubiquitination of Lys-118 by Bre1 gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation and is also prerequisite for histone H3 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-79' methylation (Probable). Deubiquitination of Lys-118 by the SAGA complex is involved in activating transcription of a large subset of genes (PubMed:18188155, PubMed:21764853).
Methylation at Pro-2 increases upon heat shock.
GlcNAcylation at Ser-110 promotes monoubiquitination of Lys-118. It fluctuates in response to extracellular glucose, and associates with transcribed genes (Probable).
The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA. Interacts with Parp1 (via C-terminus); the interaction is direct and regulates Parp1 enzymatic reaction (PubMed:17827147).

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

New stable cell line derived from S2-unspecified : S2 cell lines expressing His2B GFP/mCherry-alpha-tubulin or GFP-aurB/mCherry-alpha-tubulin were created.
The majority of replication-dependent histone gene transcripts are not polyadenylated and in addition two types of polyadenylated transcripts can be detected. A small proportion of the histone mRNAs bear a short poly(A) tail which is added to the 3' terminus of a partially degraded stem-loop structure. Polyadenylation signals can be located downstream of the stem-loop structure that can be used to generate mRNAs with a poly(A) tail.
The position of the homologous histone gene repeats within the nuclei of early embryo cells has been investigated. The two homologous histone gene clusters are distinct and separate through all stages of the cell cycle up to nuclear cycle 13. During interphase of cycle 14, the two clusters colocalise with high frequency, and move from near the midline of the nucleus towards the apical side.
DNA replication of the 5kb histone gene repeating unit in tissue culture cells (Drosophila Kc cells) initiates at multiple sites located within the repeating unit. Several replication pause sites are located at 5' upstream regions of some histone genes.
The genomic organisation of the histone genes in D.hydei closely resembles that of D.melanogaster.
The D.virilis core histone genes (Dvir\His2B, Dvir\His3, Dvir\His4 and Dvir\His2A), are arranged in the same order and orientation as the D.melanogaster core histone genes (His2B, His3, His4 and His2A). However, the His1 gene that is located between His2B and His3 in D.melanogaster is not found between Dvir\His2B and Dvir\His3 in D.virilis. Overall orientation not stated: His2B+ His1- His3- His4+ His2A-
